Group Buy On Percy's Speedglass

Well I know a lot of you have been blessed with a cracked windshield and are probably pretty pissed that your brand new FJ looks like sh*t. Well my dilemma is I don't want to keep replacing these @ $200 a pop (deductible) and it WILL happen over and over again I promise you. It is impossible to avoid, even if you drive a mile behind traffic that rock will find a way to hit your window. Those of you that haven't had this happen I suggest you go find a casino because you are surely having some killer luck.


So here is a solution and an inexpensive one at that speedglass Revolutionary polycarbonate windshield technology designed strictly for the motor sports enthusiast!

Percy’s uses genuine LEXAN polycarbonate and applies an awesome proprietary coating.

SPEEDGLASS is SCRATCH AND CHEMICAL RESISTANT, SHATTERPROOF, and 50%- 70% lighter than glass.

SPEEDGLASS has been tested in extreme conditions such as the bumper to bumper racing of many Circle Track venues and has proven itself without a doubt again and again. Giving the driver a larger margin of safety and offering greater visibility!

SPEEDGLASS is great for 4x4 enthusiast as well, with its ability to withstand rocks and tree limbs while on a trail ride. SPEEDGLASS is very effective in all jeep and similar flat glass applications!


Ok so now that you know what it is we need at least 10 people to be interested in these for them to justify producing these for our FJ. Lets see there are about 400 forum members that have chimed in with this problem shouldn't be too hard to get 10 people interested. Post here if you would like one of these so that we can relay this info back to them so they can get started.

Re: Group Buy On Percy's Speedglass

I have had my rig for over a year and no windshield issues, and most people know I wheel often. I guess I need to get a lottery ticket.

Although, this is very interesting to me. I would make the swap just save some weight and add strength against impacts. My only concern is scratching over time. It says scratch resistant, but would years of windshield wiper use and road debris cause it to be replaced also. Lexan scratches if not coated, but how long would you expect the coating to last?

Re: Group Buy On Percy's Speedglass

BTW, no FJC listed on their site. Would have to have them make one first.

I think he wants to make sure there is interest before pricing comes but I am pretty sure that they will be comparable to the prices listed on the site for the other vehicles which is about the price of a regular windshield anyhow.

....yeah I am aware, that is why I am making this thread. if you refer to the cracked windshield poll thread you will see that Percy actually chimed in and said that they will produce them as long as there are 10 people that are interested. Its that simple all we need is 10 guys to say they will buy one and then we're golden.
